Summary: HAMPTON HAS MADE A NAME FOR HERSELF AND IT'S ALL GOOOOOOD!!!
Review: Just when I thought this author pulled it off with Two's Enough Three's A Crowd, she smacked me in the face with another great novel, How Can I Be Down, and left me wanting more from her. This novel was on a whole different level from the other, which proves her capabilities as a writer are outstanding. The story was well written and very easy to follow. I'm torn between my love for Jaylin, in Two's Enough, and my love for Kiley, in How Can I Be Down. Her characters are lovable and are realistic men who have some of the same issues as everyday men do. Kiley, Karreem, and Quincy were exciting to read about. The ending blew me away, as I cried so hard and threw the book across the room. I won't give it away but like a book should be, this book is filled with laughter, drama, excitement, and sorrow. If you don't own a copy, get one.

Summary: TO MUCH CANDIE AIN'T GOOD FOR YA!!
Review: Ms. Hampton you did it again! I really enjoyed reading this book. However I was looking for a little more drama,this book had drama but more so Kiley and his women...I was looking for some hard core street drama. It was there at the end. Kiley is the man...all I can say is he was putting on them girls made me wanna holla at him.(HEHE) Ms. Hampton is the author of the year.!!

Summary: EXCELLENTLY WRITTEN..PAGE TURNER..
Review: Ms. Hampton...The question is, "How can I be down?"..with your next novel that is..I want a sequel!! I loved both of her books and both left you wanting more! I can't say enough about this book, but it had me from page one. I think I am also in love with Keily. Candi, all I can say is, why? I won't give away the ending, but it had me screaming out saying, "I knew it"! Great characters, all of which you can identify with. Bravo!

Summary: Ms. Hampton Has Done It Again
Review: Okay Two's Enough Three's a Crowd was too good, but How Can I Be Down was GREAT TO THE THIRD POWER. This book made me feel like I wanted to cry,laugh and explode at the same time. I knew something was up with Candi "it's a hood thing you just know" I guess Kiley was too busy craving Candi's body along with her beauty which kept him from thinking. I recommend this book to anyone who has truly lived in the hood or just knew someone from the hood. Another Page Turner!!!

Review: READ THIS BOOK.
If you enjoy reading you will not be disappointed. I have read this book 6 times, not only that but I've also read Mrs Hamptons other 3 novels and I am sitting here anxiously awaiting the sequel to her novels. When I read her masterpieces I feel immersed into her world. I cry, I laugh, I ache, I feel so many emotions, and Mrs Brenda is truly talented. The characters in her book could be your neighbor, that's just how realistic her writing is. I have had the wonderful opportunity to speak to her by email and she is just as delightful as her novels. And I agree wholeheartedly with the reviewer who said " Mrs Hampton could write on toilet tissue and I would buy it" Because I would too. Mrs Hampton has affected me in a way that no other author ever has, and I consider myself to be an avid reader.Thank you God for blessing us with her talent. Read the book you wont be disappointed. I am reading it again for a seventh time, this time out loud to my husband!!!

Summary: EXCELLENT READ..WELL WRITTEN..
Review: This book had everything that I love in a book. It had excitement,drama,and characters I could relate to. I had the pleasure of reading Mrs. Hampton's first book, "Two's Enough Three's a Crowd" and loved it so much that I couldn't wait to read another from her. So, when this book came out I hopped on it.
Although the two books are different in context, the writing is remarkable! My favorite character in this book is Keily. I loved the way the character Keily was portrayed in this book. Even though he made some questionable decisions, you soon began to understand why later in the book. I also love this character's confidence. I read this book in one day. I just could not put it down. It had so much drama, it made me want to keep reading. I won't give the story line away, but I will say the end was a shocker! Please go out and get this book, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Outstanding
Review: This book is a great read. I could not put this one down, I finished this book in one weekend. Ms. Hampton captured my attention from page one. She took you inside the world of Mr. Kiley J. Abrams, a thug who also has a heart. Brenda Hampton is definitely on this rise and I recommend all of her books to those who love to read fiction filled with drama!
